Turning Truman Loose in the Aviary

Just as Truman is starting to get better, I began contemplating putting him back in his cage. However, I decided that the risk of him falling down in the cage is too great and he might restart the injury. So I'm going to give it a bit more time before putting him back in the cage. But since the aviary allows enough room for flight, I'm less worried about him falling down.

Check out photos and a video of Truman outside in his aviary without a secondary cage.

Oh, Michael. He looks so much better and very happy. I love his swing and all the toys. He sure seems to be enjoying them. What a great thing to do for him. I think it'll help him feel better just being able to play while perching again. Yay, Truman!

He looks great! Has he been flying around or just been sitting on his swing like a good boy? And how is Kili doing in the aviary?

I have got the exact same rope swing for my budgies :D (yes, a couple of sizes smaller)
Just be carefull, if you put a certain amount of weight on one side it tends to flip over. The budgies are ok, but when a tiel lands on it, it flips over. Yours look a lot heavier, so it might not, but thinking of Trumans injury in mind I thought I'd mention it.
The toy looks great. I've seen something similar at my store. Does it have little 'mystery packages' as well?
Kika: Senegal Parrot.

He looks very happy in there and in good shape.
I'm sure going out will help accelerate his full recovery.

Such a relief to see him interested in nibbling toys. I'm glad he's on the mend.
